A few weeks ago, the DC area dietetic association I’m a member of had a fall networking potluck. Originally, I was thinking of bringing some sort of quinoa, bean, or kale salad. And then I realized: wait. I’m going to an event full of dietitians… there is likely going to be WAY too much along the lines of quinoa, beans, and kale. So instead, I decided to make a fun summery pasta creation.
A little while later, and this was born. It’s garlicky, creamy, and delicious, dotted with bursts of flavor from fresh basil, dill, and parsley. You’d never know it’s vegan, too.
This recipe could not be simpler to make. Any kind of pasta will work – any shape (bow tie would be fun here), and you could use quinoa or brown rice pasta instead of whole wheat if you need this recipe to be gluten free (or just want to mix things up). Go crazy!
Do those of you that grew up in the 80’s and 90’s remember the buttery noodles that everyone’s parents used to serve with dinner? This dish kind of reminds me of those noodles, but way better. I hope you enjoy it, too!
This garlic and herb pasta is super creamy, but happens to be vegan, too (thanks to the coconut milk)!Creamy Garlic & Herb Pasta
